Congratulations Rhonda B. of Alder, MT, you are the lucky winner of the Kirk Stierwalt DVD's Giveaway! Thank you to everyone who participated in our contest!

There are people that you meet in your life’s walk that you can easily and quickly tell their character traits. You have those that can be self-serving or you have those that truly care and take the time to get to know you and help you to better yourself. I can honestly say, I have had the pleasure of meeting the latter in a wonderful showman, Kirk Stierwalt. If any of you have had the pleasure of personally meeting Kirk, you know exactly what I mean. This gentleman is busy beyond belief, but when you are speaking to him, you have his full attention and he is more than happy to give you a few pointers on the do’s and don’t’s of the show world.

Weaver Livestock has teamed with Kirk on many of their livestock products, assuring that their products are top quality and completely useful in and out of the show ring. In this process, they developed 3 DVD’s with Kirk’s expert advice on clipping, fitting, and showmanship. (#28724, #28723, #40899)

We would love to give you a chance to win all three! One lucky winner will be selected at random to be the proud owner of these three DVD’s.

Congratulations Noel H. of Frostproof, FL, you are the lucky winner of the March Mud Boot Giveaway! Thank you to everyone who participated in our contest!

March comes in like a lion, out like a lamb. Or April showers bring May flowers. I remember hearing those statements from my Grandmother many times when I was growing up.

Regardless of what month it is this early spring, there's a good chance you are going to need some type of mud boot while outside doing chores. I’d like to introduce to you a new boot Valley Vet has recently picked up from Noble Outfitters: The Stay Cool Mud Boot (#40969 and #40967). We offer one boot specifically for men and another specifically for women. What’s the difference you ask? The style of last they are built on. Many boots are made in a unisex style, which works, but these boots fit the male and female foot so much better since they are catered to the curves. 100% waterproof, 3.5m Neoprene, breathable and moisture wicking. I own a pair, and I personally love them! They are comfortable, shock absorbing and anti-slip.

I’d like to give you a chance to win a free pair. Just answer one of the following questions for you chance to be chosen at random for a free pair of Stay Cool Muds. Then like/share or retweet this post.

1.) During the spring, what activity do you spend most of your outdoor time doing?

2.) I love spring because…(fill in the blank)

I’m throwing a party, and giving away a pair of boots! Why you ask? Well, August the 18th 2014 is the last time my birthday will ever be celebrated. I shall forever be 39 years old.

Congratulations Esther A. from Nebraska. You are the lucky winner of the Parmak Fence Charger Giveaway! Enjoy!

Typically in our area, May is thought of to be the beginning of pasture season. From May 1st to October 1st, I love driving through the Flint Hills of Kansas and seeing acres upon acres of rolling hills, pasture land, grass, and cattle.

Hopefully we’ve all had enough moisture to get those ponds and pastures back into shape and green with growth.

Congratulations to Bridget K. from WI. You are the proud new owner of a trailer cover! Enjoy your ride in the recreational areas you cover.

Anyone that owns a trailer knows these precious gems are not a cheap investment. Nor do all of us have a large enough building to park them in to protect them from the elements. As fall and winter approach, let me introduce to you….HORSE TRAILER COVERS by Beverly Bay! The triple-layer Aqua-shed top panel with polypropylene side panels provides maximum protection for your horse trailer. Fully breathable fabric allows trapped moisture to evaporate from within; highly U.V. resistant and water-resistant. Passenger-side zipper entry doors allow access during storage. Heavily reinforced rear corners resist tears and snags. Elasticized bottom hems at front and back provide a snug fit. Bunny-ear cinching system contains excess fabric. Strap and buckle secures cover firmly in place underneath trailer. Will work for all Thoroughbred/Standard bumper-pull trailers between 8 and 18 feet long. Cinching system accounts for whether the trailer has a round front or a "v" front. Exclude hitch when determining trailer length. 2-year warranty. Perfect for use between shows or long term storage. Storage bag included.

SO—who could use one of these….F R E E ? ! ? ! ?

To enter, answer one of the questions below and then like and/or tweet this post.

1.) When do you or would you cover your trailer the most? In between shows, everyday usage, long term non-use, etc.

Or

2.) What do you most often use your trailer for? Horse shows, cattle shows, going to market, etc.

Congratulations Patricia D. from FL. You are our lucky
randomly drawn winner! I will be contacting you shortly for your choice of
boot.

I have to admit I wasn’t the best young lady going to school
when I was younger. I remember several times in kindergarten my Dad had to
carry me to the bus, because if he didn’t, as soon as they opened the door, I
took off and ran in the opposite direction. (OOPPSS.) And I cried, so much so
that when I finally stopped crying there, I was given a certificate with a
scratch and sniff sticker that says “Julie did not cry at all today at
school”—and yes, I still have it today.

Ironically, as I write this for posting…..yesterday was the
first day of school for my boys. I did
read every single one of the 300+ comments,
so much of what I read are things that I have said to my boys over the
years and said again yesterday as we drove to school. But I loved being able to
show them your posts and say, “See, Mom does know what she’s talking about.”
Isn’t it funny how hindsight is 20/20?

I pray that this
school year—all over our great country—is blessed for every single student out
there.

Thanks again for participating in my blog!

Julie

As a Mom of two boys, one fourteen and one eleven, about
this time of year, this is just about the way I feel when I see the beginning
of the school year in sight. Don’t get
me wrong, I absolutely LOVE summer and all my boys’ activities, but after a couple of months of hectic
schedules and running this kid here and the other one there, I kind of like to
send them off to school so I know for at least eight hours they are contained
in one spot!

1. Answer one of the following questions in the comments section of this post:

What is your favorite back to school memory or
any school memory?

Or

If you could pass advice on to the younger
generations (like my son’s—in our family ballpark picture) what would you tell them
to do or not do to make their school career more valuable?

comfortable you have found yet.

Thanks
to all for entering.Julie

If you are like me, you love boots. I can’t get or own
enough of them, but, I never really stop to think how labor intensive these
little devils can be. Did you know that
in a pair of Justin boots, there are over a 100 steps that go into producing a
single pair?!?! Or that 16 square feet
of natural leather goes into every pair?!?

That certainly makes me appreciate my boots a little more
now when I put them on every morning.

To start July off with a BANG~ the blog giveaway is going to
be for a pair of fabulous Justin Boots—one or the other, your choice, of Mens
#40381 Bent Rail Collection or Ladies #29320 Bent Rail.
